Special to the Independent
Mayor Robert J. Van Campen is pleased to announce that the Everett Citizens Foundation (ECF) is now accepting Year 7, Round 2 grant applications for community organizations serving Everett that did not receive funding in Year 7, Round 1.
Through the City of Everett’s Host Community Agreement with Wynn Resorts, approved by voters in 2013, the Everett Citizens Foundation was established to support and promote local groups, associations and programs that provide a direct benefit to Everett residents.
Applications will be reviewed and scored by ECF members based on several criteria, including project impact, feasibility and demonstrated service to the Everett community. To date, the ECF has distributed more than $1 million in grants to local organizations providing a wide range of services to Everett residents.
“Our community organizations play a vital role in strengthening Everett,” said Mayor Van Campen. “Securing funding for meaningful projects can be challenging, and the Everett Citizens Foundation was created to help bring those ideas to life. I encourage all eligible organizations to apply.”
Applications are available online at cityofeverett.com/our-city/#EverettCitizensFoundation and must be submitted by Tuesday, March 31. Organizations that received funding in Year 7, Round 1 are not eligible to apply for this round.
